So now the right will blame Obama for the Iraq War...

Unfuckingbelievable. Let's blame the person who got Iraq right all along and not the crew who took us to war that led the country into this mess in the first place.

I guess this is their gear up to another war there when Obama leaves office.

serving as targets in the most dangerous parts of Iraq, and they'd say no, resoundingly. So this "Obama lost Iraq!" line of attack is utter insanity. I do believe, though, there are a lot of military families (many Repubs) who can't come to grips with what Bush/Cheney did, and it's very easy and convenient to blame Obama for their bad feelings about the massive waste of Iraq. Everything they believed ten years ago was a lie.
